PADI Emergency First Response

Emergency First Response with Academy of Scuba

Learn the essentials of First Aid when dealing with diving and non-diving injuries.

First Aid training and CPR are essential skills for anyone involved in adventure sports – just in case. Primary and Secondary Care training including CPR, AED and First Aid training is therefore included on this course. Also, you need these skills for the PADI Rescue Diver course. Emergency First Response is a PADI affiliate that specialises in teaching these lifesaving skills – and they’re for anyone, not just divers. Most PADI Instructors are also Emergency First Response Instructors!

Essential

Become proficient in Primary and Secondary Care skills on the Emergency First Response course with Academy of Scuba, including BLS (Basic Life Support), CPR, AED use and First Aid training. These lifesaving skills are essential for anyone – whether you are a scuba diver or not. You will also need these skills for your PADI Rescue Diver course and if you are looking to go pro and complete your PADI Divemaster course as well.

Convenient

Our Emergency First Response course takes place over two weeknight evenings, so first aid training can fit in with your work schedule. Our central location in Camberwell makes it easy to find us. Furthermore, the Emergency First Response course is always scheduled before the PADI Rescue Diver course. In two evenings, you will have the skills and confidence to give primary or secondary care to someone in need of assistance.

Comprehensive

Imagine being confident to give primary or secondary care to someone in need of help. Would you be confident and comfortable to give care if you hadn’t practiced? We don’t think so! For that reason we take our time with this first aid training course and ensure that every skills that is taught is practiced again and again, until you are comfortable.
